Kathmandu: The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) on Monday urged the Indian government and Maoist insurgents to exercise “maximum restraint” and seek a solution to the existing problems through peaceful means.
The statement by the main opposition party, led by former prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, came after top Maoist leader Nambala Keshav Rao, alias Basavaraju, was killed in an encounter in Chhattisgarh last week.
Basavaraju was the general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
